In a small bowl, mix warm milk and honey until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. This confirms the yeast is active. In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl), combine flour and salt.
Add the yoghurt, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes (or knead with a stand mixer for 5–7 minutes) until smooth and elastic.
If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. It should be soft but not overly sticky. Lightly grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into an oval or rectangle about 4 inches long. (This helps create the perfect sandwich roll shape.) Arrange the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll. Cover loosely with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using, brush the tops with honey butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or coarse salt. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown. Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Use for sandwiches, burgers, or toast and enjoy.
